There's just some stories I choose to ignore, but it's my duty to report. Dr. Drew, I used to love the guy but he's morphed into a Dr. Phil attention whore, said Tom Cruise is mental, now he's "apologizing."
PLEASE!!!! When I was growing up, my dad would tell me, "Anything anyone tells you and then says, 'I'm joking!' is the truth. They're telling you the truth, but they don't like how it sounds so they're trying to disguise it by saying, 'I'm joking,' but they really mean what they're claiming is 'a joke.'"
I always remember that and I give people the stink eye when they say, "I'm joking!" I usually say, 'No you're not but it's okay. Whatever.'
Apologies are similar. You don't like the results of your actions, and suddenly you're SORRY. My ass you are!
Dr. Drew Pinsky said Tom Cruise's interest in Scientology is "a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood â" maybe some abuse but mostly neglect."
Now Drew is changing his tune. Drew's rep says:
"[Dr. Drew] apologizes if his comments were hurtful." In response to Pinsky's remarks to Playboy, Cruise's attorney Bert Fields told the New York Post that Pinksy is an "unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety [and] is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them.
"He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill," Fields said. "The last time we heard garbage like this was from [Nazi propagandist] Joseph Goebbels."
Pinsky's rep responded: "Although Mr. Field's intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know.
Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm." - TOO LATE!
